Shot on location in the English countryside, Jane Austen's account of romantic courtships full of injured pride and unfounded prejudice springs vividly to life in this five-part 1980 BBC adaptation, nominated for two BAFTA awards (costume design and lighting). When the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy (David Rintoul) insults Elizabeth Bennet (Elizabeth Garvie) at a dance, the tension and romance of their relationship is sparked, while family beauty Jane (Sabina Franklyn) attracts the attention of a gentleman presumed to be above her station. However, the reputation and "chances" of all the Bennet sisters is jeopardized when the flirtatious Lydia (Natalie Ogle) lands herself in a steamy scandal.
